Philly Man Scammed With $24K Pokémon Card | Newark News

A Philly man pulled off a jaw-dropping $24,200 Pokémon card scam using fake crypto on Facebook Marketplace—only to get caught by Evesham PD after trying to flee the country. The victim met him in the police department’s Safe Exchange Zone, where the bogus payment was exposed. Christian Elam, 26, now faces theft charges and is locked up in Burlington County Jail, thanks to a Homeland Security takedown.
